I honestly think she will do whatever it takes to make you happy, even to taking the whole set back if necessary. Especially if you want to exchange them + a little more cash for the ENVEs. It will only take her a couple of hours to build your C2/CK45 wheels, so you could have them by Tuesday afternoon., Wednesday at the latest. It is unlikely she will sell the ENVEs to anyone else before then. How about this proposal: Let her build the wheels you ordered. Try them out. If they don't rock your world, take them back and make a deal on the ENVEs.
Listen, please don't take offense, but this thread has been so much fun, I will make another proposal. If after riding them you HONESTLY don't like the wheels you ordered, and want the ENVEs, I will PayPal Jude $10 toward the ENVEs on your behalf to help make up the difference. No kidding. Any one else out there feel the same? If Nick really doesn't like the wheels he ordered, let's all chip in and put him in the ENVEs. Just out of appreciation for this fine thread. Thirty or forty of us ought to do the trick. If I am off base here, just say so. No harm, no foul.

Look, no offense to Nick, but if we're gonna be tossing money into the ether, I'd sure as hell rather put it towards inner city cycling development charities than some family man from the burbs who already has a tricked out carbon bike.
